v: to resolve an emulsion, especially of water and oil, into its components. See emulsion treating.

n: used in emulsion treating to heat noncorrosive emulsions that are under comparatively low pressure. Types are tubular, fluid-jacket, internal firebox, and volume, or jug-type. Compare indirect heater.

n: a vessel that receives an emulsion and resolves the emulsion to oil, water, and usually gas, by using heat, chemicals, and a high-voltage electric field. This field, produced by grids placed perpendicular to the flow of fluids in the treater, aids in breaking the emulsion. Also called an electrochemical treater. See emulsion treating.

a separation device that uses alternating current charged plates to help break emulsions.

n: the process of breaking down emulsions to separate oil from water or other contaminants. Treating plants may use a single process or a combination of processes to effect demulsification, de- pending on what emulsion is being treated.

n: excelsior, used in emulsion treating to encourage coalescence.

n: in emulsion treating, a test to determine the best ratio of chemical to emulsion.
